Those who are gone

This is the part of the site everybody would like to find empty. Sadly, this is not possible.

If you have any information about deceased ASMC members which you would like to have presented here, please post it in the appropriate catagory in the »In Memoriam« [link] topic in the forum or ask for some help from the site creators (just click here [link]).

!!! Contrary to our earlier report, our own Donald Zimmerman is alive and well and living in Rockford, IL. We had tagged an entry about him here as »unconfirmed.« Lo and behold, it in fact turns out that while Rockford, IL was proud to have two fine citizens named Donald Zimmerman (Donald L. and Donald E. respectively), that community sadly lost one of them in February 2010, as reported here. Fortunately for us, the deceased's middle initial was E. and not L. Apart from our embarrassment, we are happy that Mr. Z. is still among us and apologize for any sad feelings we may have caused.
